The Case
A sentence of two years' imprisonment imposed upon an offender who pleaded guilty to attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent was considered, on a reference by the Attorney General to the Court of Appeal, to be unduly lenient. However, the court did not consider that the case was one in which it was appropriate to exercise its discretion to interfere with the sentence.
